B.Ayern coach Julian Nagelsmann is happy that he will in all likelihood be able to look after his team in the Champions League home game against Benfica Lisbon. “I’m really looking forward to being able to get back on the line,” said Nagelsmann on Monday. The last corona rapid tests were already negative. Now a PCR test on the Tuesday before the game in the evening (9 p.m. / in the FAZ live ticker for the Champions League and on Prime Video) has to be negative. “I feel good,” the 34-year-old reported on Monday at the video press conference for the game while still in quarantine at home.
“He is healthy. He is back. We are happy that he can be back on the bench, ”said full-back Alphonso Davies about the head coach’s long-awaited return. The final training on Monday was headed by assistant trainer Dino Toppmöller.
One point is enough for the round of 16
Nagelsmann wants to advance to the second round with the German record champions with the fourth win in the fourth group game, as he said. Even a draw would be enough for that. During the line-up, he will also keep an eye on the top Bundesliga match against third-placed SC Freiburg on Saturday (3:30 p.m. / in the FAZ live ticker and on Sky). He wanted to “distribute the burden,” he announced. “They are both important games,” he said, referring to Lisbon and Freiburg.
Nagelsmann has so far missed four games because of Corona in the stadium, including the 4-0 in the first leg against Benfica and Bayern’s historic 0-5 in the Pokal knockout against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
